The Green Wave allowed Belchertown High School just 16 shots while goaltender Barrett Rogaleski was turning aside 15 of them during a 3-1 Fay-Wright Division hockey victory Saturday night at the Mullins Center practice rink in Amherst.

“I said (in the preseason) we had some good defense,” said Greenfield head coach Mike Duclos. “We only allowed two shots in the first period and both of those were slap shots from the point. We’re doing a good job of controlling the play. If they get the puck in our zone, we’re getting it out quick.”

Jourdan York-Welcome tallied the only goal of the opening period at the 11-minute, 52-second mark, assisted by Zach Langlois and Clay Richardson.

Jake Elwell upped the lead to 2-0 on his marker at 5:42 of the middle stanza, with helpers from York-Welcome and Tyler Townsley. Then York-Welcome scored the third goal 2:20 later from Cam Woodward and Tyler Miner.

Alex Bachand notched an unassisted tally with 6:10 left in the game to break Rogaleski’s shutout bid.

Turners 6, Mt. Everett 4 — Cody Booska notched a hat trick and assisted on another goal to help Turners Falls High School over Mt. Everett Regional School, 6-4, in independent hockey action Saturday night at Collins-Moylan Arena in Greenfield.

Booska and Tim Atkins each scored in the opening period, and Nick Murphy made it a 3-0 game before the Eagles’ Adam Derwitsch scored a pair goals and Andrew Wells tallied in a 3:34 span to tie it heading into the final frame.

Kyle Smith then struck at 2:50 of the third period to give Everett its first lead of the game, 4-3. The Eagles continued to hold its tenuous lead until Ryan Lenois tied it with 6:47 left on a power play.

Booska put the Indians ahead to stay on a helper from Lenois with 2:15 left, then completed his hat trick 13 seconds later on assists from Atkins and Zach Demars.

Brandon Bryant tuned aside 23 shots for the Indians, who were outshot 30-27. Sam Riva made 24 saves for the Eagles, who were 0-for-4 on the power play.

Turners (2-3-1) travels to Lossone Rink in Easthampton to face Easthampton High School Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Girls’ basketball

Catholic 39, Pioneer 30 — Holyoke Catholic High School won the battle of star players and got enough production from its other starters to fend off Pioneer Valley Regional School, 39-30, in an independent girls’ basketball game Saturday night at Elms College in Chicopee.

The Panthers (0-6) had gotten off to a great start defensively, holding the Gaels to a single basket en route to a 9-2 lead, but Catholic stormed back in the second quarter and took a four-point lead into the halftime break.

Kyra Robins led the way for the Gaels, draining a trio of 3-pointers en route to a game-high 20 points. Danielle Easton pitched in with 7 points.
